Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 72 Mamba out! (55)

"Oh! It's that serious!"

It's really scary to think about. A female artist who is about to debut is hanging out with executives from other companies. How could SM not have something to worry about?

As for whether she would lose her debut position, Xiao She couldn't say for sure, only that the probability was very high. She couldn't help but panic for a moment, and Chen Shijun could even see the beads of sweat on her forehead.

"What should I do? I'm going to die!"

It's only at times like this that he feels fear, and Chen Shijun can't let this guy panic. If he runs away, it would be a huge loss.

"You silly girl, oppa was just trying to scare you and you actually believed him. The project has progressed to this point, how could we possibly change the core concept of you?"

Given SM's usual practices, they'll simply create some ambiguous or misleading information to confuse fans, making everything seem less credible and then generating a huge buzz.

"But what you said makes a lot of sense, oppa, can you protect me?"

For a moment, the little snake thought about running away on the spot, but after weighing the pros and cons, it felt that clinging to Chen Shijun's leg was the better choice.

Having already established a certain level of interaction, a little more wouldn't matter. As long as the company knows that I'm meeting with Big Hit executives in private, then it would be best if I really did have a very close relationship with Chen Shijun.

Even if she gets kicked out by the company in the end, it's still possible that Chen Shijun will help his sisters out because he was also partly responsible, and that he could get her into Big Hit to debut.

"Of course! Would I possibly harm Jimin? I will protect Jimin no matter what."

Although Chen Shijun insisted that there was no problem, Xiao She was still worried and even suspected that this man was trying to use his good looks to lure her into Big Hit.

Not only can they acquire a high-quality trainee, but they can also disrupt the debut schedule of the rival company's girl group, which is a win-win situation.

But he quickly dismissed the thought. Who was Chen Shijun to do such a thing? He really thought too highly of himself.

"Really? Oppa, I'm so scared. I've practiced for so many years, I can't let myself be so unlucky."

The girl's voice trembled with tears, and Chen Shijun felt that she was faking it. If she were really that scared, she would have cut ties with him immediately.

"What are you afraid of? From now on, oppa will be your support. If you can't make it in SM, I will definitely not sit idly by."

He smiled slightly, reached out and grasped the girl's soft hands, and was surprised to find that his palms were sweaty. Sure enough, he wasn't completely unafraid.

Chen Shijun didn't let go until the food was served, and of course the staff didn't dare to disturb them. They looked like a normal, very affectionate young couple.

Even her small hand holding the wine glass was trembling. Fortunately, Chen Shijun kept easing the tension, which gradually helped her recover and she managed a forced smile.

In fact, this girl already had a lot of plans in mind, and her dependence on Chen Shijun was gradually increasing. However, if the man really gave her a debut plan, that would be a difficult thing to do.

After all, she's 99% on her way to debut here, and giving up such easy success would be incredibly difficult. Besides, being completely controlled by a man isn't necessarily a good thing.

However, Chen Shijun did not do that. Instead, he reasonably planned her career, saying that debuting with SM Entertainment according to the original plan was more in line with her proper trajectory.

He was indeed not as calculating as she had imagined; on the contrary, he genuinely cared about her, and her doubts gradually dissipated.

"Go for a walk with oppa. You're a trainee, you can't just sit still."

The car couldn't be driven after drinking. Chen Shijun watched as the girl's face grew increasingly red, and with a hint of fear in her eyes, he naturally knew what might happen tonight.

Although Zhimin offered to treat, Chen Shijun didn't let her pay, since she didn't have much pocket money. "I still need to go to the dorm..."

Actually, the little snake didn't drink much, but it easily showed up on its face, making it look adorable.

"It's okay. Your area can't be that strictly managed, right? Oppa doesn't believe it."

Chen Shijun is also a senior executive of the entertainment company. At least, although Xiaochi and the others lived in very poor conditions, their personal freedom was not strictly controlled.

This little girl was clearly making excuses, and Chen Shijun felt he should dispel her doubts tonight.

Otherwise, if he goes back, he'll only get more and more conflicted. If he does come to a conclusion, but not in the way he thinks, there's a risk of losing everything.

Chen Shijun, who was thinking of striking while the iron was hot, was not going to let the girl get away, but to his surprise, she did not refuse him at all. On the contrary, she took Chen Shijun's arm as soon as they went out.

This girl really talks a lot, or rather, she's trying to get more reassurance from Chen Shijun's words. Anyway, since talking is free, Chen Shijun is happy to satisfy her.

"It's a deal then. If I really get fired by the company, oppa, you can't just abandon me."

Chen Shijun had already said this three times, but the girl still seemed to want to ask, so the man had no choice but to cover her mouth with both hands.

"I always keep my word, and I have never mistreated a woman."

These resolute words sound very reliable, and they're clearly spoken by a scumbag with many women, but they're especially effective on Little Snake at this moment.

"Oppa, where are we going? Where are you taking me?"

Chen Shijun grasped her hand, the warmth of his fingertips passing through her palm, filling the girl with an indescribable joy.

Her steps were as light as if she were walking on invisible clouds, as if she were in a grand ceremony. In the distance, the neon lights of the bridge across the river and the lights of the high-rise buildings on both sides of the river were reflected on the dark river surface, perfectly matching a woman's interpretation of romance.

Her legs were a little sore from walking for so long when she realized that the man was leading her somewhere, which seemed to be a rather upscale residential area.

"This is my home! The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't that what they say?"

Chen Shijun was spouting internet memes for adults, with very obvious implications, including things like cats doing backflips, but he actually doesn't own any cats.

Without hesitation, he reached out and took off the girl's glasses, gently cupping her face in his hands.

"Oppa is lying, the moon didn't even appear tonight."

The incredibly soft touch made the girl naturally wrap her arms around his waist. She felt dizzy and lightheaded, like an obedient little pet being led by the nose.

"Is it really appropriate for me to just come to your house like this? This is only our third time meeting."

Even though she had little resistance left, she was still being stubborn. Chen Shijun bent down, picked her up by the waist, and carried her into the elevator in this ambiguous manner.

"Do you not trust oppa? You can't do this, girl."

Tonight's dinner was very ordinary, but it seems the main course has only just begun. Chen Shijun is determined to eat this little snake; even if Lee Soo-man himself came to block the door, it wouldn't make a difference.
